kalabasa, corn puffs, and gummi bears

July 14, 2006

i’ve always loved squash.

there used to be a time when i was a kid when my mom would ask, “What do you want to eat?” and i’d say, “kalabasa” without batting an eyelash. i owe my vitamin A doses to it, my 20/20 vision (even though i treat my eyes terribly. i do the opposite of everything written in “Taking Care of Your Eyes”), and of course the good feeling you have that “yes, mom, i ate my vegetables today.”

i think i never wrote “i hate leafy greens” in the About Me section. but yes, i hate raw green stuff. i choke on salads with their little olives looking at you like beady frog’s eyes. eeeeeeew.

i was at the other office today, using somebody else’s computer. mine is ready for the dumpster. it’s so slow it should be thrown out the window. it’s useless. and edith, my nice officemate, who has lots of food in her desk drawer, offered me some corn puffs. i said, “pop corn?” “puffed corn?” “corn pop?” “oooh. i get it. corn PUFFS.” shit, my brain is getting addled by all this coffee.

strong brewed coffee upon waking…a short trip to starbucks for a white mocha before work…two sachets of great taste premium coffee for every mug i finish off in the office…and another , and another, and another.

sigh.

i can’t take this anymore. i need. 1) francis. 2) sleep.

and yes, it’s confirmed. GUMMI BEARS CONTAIN PIG’S SKIN. top that.

Oh, the things we learn ;-)

The organic store I shop at used to have their version of corn pops. I thought they were much better than the name brand, but they stopped making them.
